A touching film, that takes place 33 years after the original Gamera, gives his own life, to once again save the world, (or a remote area of Japan).

In 2006, our lead human character, Toru, finds a very small egg that hatches a pale box turtle, and within 4 days, grows to the size of a Volkswagen Beetle.
Toru then realizes that his pet is Gamera, and needs to move on, to once again save the world.

The best scene of all is when Gamera needs a large red glowing stone, that looks like an ashtray, to maximize his powers. A child takes this stone from a hospitalized girl, and runs against the flow of mass evacuation, to deliver it.
When the girl is stopped, Gamera's spirit, or what could be possibly be described as the best ever Nike commercial that was never made, wills another child who runs up, takes the ashtray, and continues on, from child to child, like some psychotic baton race.

Stay tuned for the DVD extras, where the director of the film will compare the making of a film, to opening a Burger King.
